By reading the eligibility it looks like we first get polled to see if we want to keep the current board members. Have any of them decided to leave the board? If they have not, and we vote to keep them, then why would there be an opening to fill?

I am so new here that I would decline to vote due to not knowing anyone yet. I just know that for the first month or so I have been very entertained by caroperphotography and ST you are quite entertaining during my 0330 break when working nights.

The issue isn't if a member wants to leave. If we all decide to stay 20 years and nobody gets a chance to come in, this place will get pretty stuffy. There aren't any term limits, but you all have the power to "vote the bums out" if that's what the majority wants. The question right now is "Do you want a board member vote now or not." If you do, the same members may be voted in, or a completely new board (except for Rick), or a mix of new and old members. You decide.
